It may be well worth considering when we suffer whether the remedy is not worse than the disease. There are few people who suffer more from what appears to them unjust railroad discriminations, than farmers and gardeners. But it may be questioned whether this is to be remedied by some methods proposed. New York State has resolved to try the experiment of free canals. Instead of the people who use them paying for their use, about one million dollars will have to be annually raised by taxation to pay interest on bonds and running expenses. This is intended as a blow at "railroad monopolies." This good, however, will result that we shall have a chance to see by expert ment how the rule of free roads in the hands of State politicians actually works.
